If SElinux is in enforcing mode, check /var/log/audit/audit.log for messages with "denied" to nginx trying accessing your pma path. Or altermatevely you could run audit2why -brvw, provided you have installed the required rpm the above command is part of beforehand. (Smth like python-policy-blah. Can't tell from the top of my head) On Oct 29, 2014 9:25 PM, "reynierpm@gmail.com" reynierpm@gmail.com wrote:

First I know this is not a list for PHP or Nginx setup or something else but I'll give it a try and ask here for support I'm running a new server with PHP 5.5.18 and Nginx 1.6.2 through FPM/FastCGI. The server is working fine since I have other websites running on it. Now I'm trying to configure phpMyAdmin and I tried this:

• 1. *Create a file under `/etc/nginx/sites-available/phpMyAdmin with this

content:

    server {
           server_name phpmyadmin.dev pma;
           root /usr/share/phpMyAdmin;

           location / {
               index  index.php;
           }

           ## Images and static content is treated different
           location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|xml)$ {
               access_log        off;
               expires           360d;
           }

           location ~ /\.ht {
               deny  all;
           }

           location ~ /(libraries|setup/frames|setup/libs) {
               deny all;
               return 404;
           }

           location ~ \.php$ {
               include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
               fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
               fastcgi_index index.php;
               fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $root$fastcgi_script_name;
           }

           access_log /var/log/nginx/phpmyadmin/access.log;
           error_log /var/log/nginx/phpmyadmin/error.log;
    }

But any time I restart Nginx service I got this error:

nginx: [emerg] unknown "root" variable nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

• 2. *Create a symbolic link in `/var/www/html` to the route where

phpMyAdmin was installed `/usr/share/phpMyAdmin` by running `ln -s /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/ /var/www/html` that way Nginx start fine but when I go to `http://devserver/phpMyAdmin%60 I got `Access denied.`

What I'm doing wrong? What is the right way to configure the server in order to serve phpMyAdmin as any other site? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
